I'd hardly call that any sort of a win. Seriously- it's an HPDE...

FATT takes the whole day . It consists from 4 sessions, about 15-20 minutes each.So you can do about 8-10 laps in a session. And that's quite enough driving if you ask me. There is approximately 45min of free time between the sessions where other groups and instructors rock the track.

After session nr two, they take cones that indicate the apex entry point and this a moment when the fun starts.

Cars are divided into two groups according to power and drivers skills. That was my first time so I was in a beginner group and you are not allowed to drive alone. Once you attedn FATT several times and earn enough track credits ,they'll let you "race" alone.
I had a lot of fun, learned a lot, didn't crash once. Looking forward to do this again this spring.

PS. To all the haters. Maybe it is not a kill, I don't care. You guys remind me of the dudes VW is making fun of in its new GTI campaign.....

I just got my 2003 Track Ed. Z in Jan. Got it used. I plan on using up the stock tires before getting wider wheels/tires (I like the stock 18" Rays, but the PO has then all b!tched up). I expect (and you can expect) the stock tires to chunk while pulling track duty.

I don't recognize the underpass. Is that the older Jefferson circuit or the new Shenandoah circuit?

deadcop could let us know for sure, but I thought from the video it looked like he was just coming out of Turn 7 and proceeding through turns 8 & 9 when he got the point-by on the right as you exit Turn 9 heading towards the underpass. The line his instructor had him take is the preferred line going into Turn 10 in non-competition mode (not defending your position). It looked to me that the video ended right before going into Turn 10.

That's definitely Summit Main coming up and out of turn 8 and 9. The bridge is right before the last turn, number 10.

So all that to say, which I forgot to -- it looked like the Summit Point track to me. It is definately not the Shenandoah track as there is a more pronounced hill/crest at the underpass on the front "straight away". Besides on the Shenandoah circuit, you would be able to see the Nurburgring turn right after the underpass.
